ITV Orders New Episodes of Foyle's War, Poirot, and Miss Marple

News out of the UK today will likely please a large number of fans of mystery television.

In a press release, ITV announced it has ordered three new episodes of Foyle's War, created by Anthony Horowitz and starring Michael Kitchen. The episodes will follow chronologically from where the series ended last year.

Eight new Agatha Christie films have also been ordered, four with David Suchet as Hercule Poirot, and four with Julie Mackenzie as Miss Marple. The only title announced was Murder on the Orient Express.

We're delighted to see the return of both series, but most especially Foyle's War which we believe to be one of the finest examples of television ever filmed. To say we're pleased with the news would be an understatement worthy of Foyle himself.
